BRENDA

BRENDA is Flore De Hoog on synths, and more synths. BRENDA sings sweet harmonies. BRENDA is riot grrrl meets fourth wave feminism. BRENDA is butch synth-punk dressed in drag.

somesurprises

somesurprises is the musical project of Egyptian/English American songwriter and guitarist Natasha El-Sergany. Born in Letterkenny, Ireland, and raised in the north of England before moving to Florida at age ten, El-Sergany eventually found home in the evergreen mist of Seattle, WA. What began as a bedroom project focused on spectral balladry and late-night exploration has evolved into a dynamic four-piece band. Motorik beats, reverb-drenched vocals, washes of fingerpicked guitars, and hazy synths expand El-Sergany’s delicate and blissful songwriting.
